The Reno Aces (3-3, 40-41) wrapped up their six-game homestand with a series split against the Salt Lake Bees (3-3, 31-48), the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, this past week at Greater Nevada Field.
Reno opened the set with back-to-back victories but managed just one win in the final four contests.
Tuesday’s opener was an all-out slugfest, with the Aces outlasting the Bees in an 18–15 shootout. Every batter in Reno’s lineup recorded a hit, including seven with multi-hit games, as the club piled up 17 total knocks.
Kevin Graham delivered his best game of the season, going 3-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI, highlighted by a bases-clearing double in the first inning. Jorge Barrosa stayed red-hot, finishing 2-for-5 with two RBI and his sixth homer of the year — a solo shot in the eighth. Trey Mancini continued his torrid June with a towering 423-foot solo blast, his 15th of the season, in the fourth.
On Wednesday, Yu-Min Lin led the charge in a 6-2 win, limiting Salt Lake to one run across five strong innings with five strikeouts and just one walk. Lin gave up a solo homer to Carter Kieboom in the fourth but was otherwise in control, lowering his ERA to 5.40 with 43 strikeouts in 43 1/3 frames. Andy Weber paced the offense, going 3-for-4 with two RBI, including the go-ahead run on an RBI single in the sixth.
Reno’s final win came Saturday in a 10-4 victory behind a flurry of home runs. After falling behind 2-0, Tristin English got the Aces going with a three-run jack to right-center — his seventh of the season. Weber and AJ Vukovich added back-to-back round trippers in the sixth to break the game open. Dylan Ray earned his second win of the year, allowing four runs over 6 1/3 innings while punching out six. Since joining Triple-A in May, Ray owns a 6.92 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 26 innings across six starts.
Jorge Barrosa was on fire, going 11-for-25 (.440) with a double, a home run, and six RBI. He enters next week riding a 22-game hitting streak, during which he’s hitting .392 (38-for-97) with 10 extra-base hits and 22 RBI.
Andy Weber also enjoyed a productive series, batting .407 (11-for-27) with a double, home run, and five RBI. He posted three multi-hit games, including two three-hit efforts, and carries a 12-game hitting streak (.434, 23-for-53) into the upcoming series against the Sacramento River Cats.
The Aces now hit the road for a three-game series against the River Cats starting Tuesday, July 1 at 6:45 p.m. PST. They’ll return home to host Sacramento for Fourth of July Weekend at Greater Nevada Field.
